  • Richard Allen's Confessions EXPOSED: Wrong Details, Psychotic Episodes, and What the Jury Never Heard

    Richard Allen's Confessions EXPOSED: Wrong Details, Psychotic Episodes, and What the Jury Never Heard
    Jan 6 2026
    The state's case against Richard Allen came down to his confessions. Without them, there's no eyewitness identification, no DNA, and a bullet "match" that even the state's own expert admitted is subjective. The confessions were everything.

    So let's talk about what those confessions actually looked like.

    According to the Appellant's Brief filed in December 2025, Richard Allen confessed while declared "gravely disabled" by Indiana's own doctors. He confessed while smearing feces on himself. While drinking toilet water. While asking if he was dead. While claiming he'd started World War III and rambling about "old bear claw" hypnotizing him.

    He said he shot the girls. Abby and Libby were stabbed, not shot. He confessed to molesting his sister and daughter—both women denied it. He said a van scared him off mid-attack. According to defense evidence, that van arrived 25 minutes after the phone data suggests the attack ended. Days after confessing to the prison psychologist, he asked her if he had confessed. He couldn't remember doing it.

    Before five months in maximum-security solitary confinement, Allen sat through two interrogations without breaking. "I did not murder two little girls." After solitary—after losing 45 pounds, after being placed in conditions that violated Indiana's own 30-day policy for mentally ill inmates—he was eating pages from his Bible and banging his head until his face was black and blue.

    The jury saw videos of Allen in this state. Judge Gull ordered the audio muted. They never heard him screaming. Never heard him incoherent. The prosecution told them his confessions were "logical and organized."

    Today we examine every confession, every wrong detail, and what the science says about false memories formed in isolation.

  • The Delphi Appeal — Did the System Fail Richard Allen at Every Step?

    The Delphi Appeal — Did the System Fail Richard Allen at Every Step?
    Jan 6 2026
    This is the Delphi appeal — start to finish.

    Defense attorney Bob Motta walks through the full scope of the case now before the appellate court: a warrant allegedly built on omissions and altered statements, a year of extreme solitary confinement that preceded multiple confessions, and a trial where critical defense evidence was never allowed in front of the jury.

    At every stage, the appeal raises the same question: were constitutional protections followed — or bypassed — to secure a conviction?

    From the probable cause affidavit…
    to the conditions inside Westville prison…
    to what jurors were and were not permitted to hear…

    This episode connects all three phases into one continuous narrative and examines what happens when pressure, isolation, and restricted evidence replace transparency and due process.

    Because if a conviction can only survive by hiding contradictions, suppressing context, and breaking a defendant psychologically — then the integrity of the system itself is on trial.

  • What the Delphi Jury Never Heard — Evidence the Judge Kept Out

    What the Delphi Jury Never Heard — Evidence the Judge Kept Out
    Jan 5 2026
    The jury convicted Richard Allen — but the appeal argues they never saw the full picture.

    They didn’t see the eyewitness sketch rated “10 out of 10” by the witness who helped create it — a sketch that looked nothing like Allen. They didn’t hear expert testimony challenging the reliability of the State’s bullet-matching evidence. They didn’t hear about alternative suspects, unverified alibis, or investigative paths involving ritualistic elements that were explored and then excluded.

    The jury also never heard audio from Allen’s confinement — only muted video — even as prosecutors described his confessions as “logical and organized.” Timeline evidence that allegedly contradicts the State’s “detail only the killer would know” theory was also kept out.

    Bob Motta explains what defendants are constitutionally entitled to present, when exclusion of defense evidence becomes reversible error, and whether this trial crossed that line.

  • Delphi Murders: Inside Westville — How Solitary Confinement Broke Accused Richard Allen

    Delphi Murders: Inside Westville — How Solitary Confinement Broke Accused Richard Allen
    Jan 5 2026
    Before trial. Presumed innocent. No criminal history.
    And yet Richard Allen spent over a year in maximum-security solitary confinement — a unit designed for the most dangerous convicted offenders.

    According to the appeal, Allen entered prison coherent and physically stable. Months later, he was psychotic, severely underweight, eating feces, drinking toilet water, and making confessions while asking if he was already dead. The State of Indiana already knew what prolonged solitary does to mentally ill detainees. They’d been sued. They’d settled. They had a 30-day policy meant to prevent exactly this outcome.

    Bob Motta breaks down what the State knew, what it allegedly ignored, and how confessions obtained during extreme psychological deterioration raise serious due-process concerns. The discussion also examines constant surveillance, loss of privacy with attorneys, control over basic necessities, and whether these conditions crossed the legal line into coercion.

    If a confession is produced by isolation, dependency, and mental collapse — can it ever be considered voluntary?

  • The Delphi Warrant — Did Police Mislead the Judge to Get Richard Allen?

    The Delphi Warrant — Did Police Mislead the Judge to Get Richard Allen?
    Jan 5 2026
    Everything in the Delphi case traces back to one document: the probable cause affidavit used to search Richard Allen’s home. According to the appeal, that affidavit didn’t just summarize evidence — it allegedly reshaped it.

    Defense attorney Bob Motta walks through claims that witness descriptions were altered, contradictions were omitted, and statements were presented to the judge in ways that made Allen appear far more consistent with “Bridge Guy” than the actual record supports. Key eyewitness descriptions that conflicted with Allen’s age, height, hair, and vehicle were left out. Statements allegedly attributed to Allen about his clothing and movements may not match what he actually said in interviews.

    If those allegations are accurate, the legal consequences are enormous. A misleading affidavit can invalidate a warrant — and if the warrant falls, so does everything that came after it: the gun, the cartridge comparison, the arrest, and potentially the confessions.

    This conversation breaks down what officers are legally required to disclose in a probable cause affidavit, when omissions become constitutional violations, and why the denial of a Franks hearing is now a central issue on appeal.

  • Was Kegan Kline the Real Key to Delphi? The Digital Trail Police Didn’t Follow | 2025 True Crime

    Was Kegan Kline the Real Key to Delphi? The Digital Trail Police Didn’t Follow | 2025 True Crime
    Dec 31 2025
    In this gripping episode, we unravel one of the most controversial threads in the Delphi murders investigation: the digital trail leading straight to Kegan Kline and the “anthony_shots” account. For years, the focus remained on the man seen on the Monon High Bridge — but behind the scenes, investigators were digging into something far more alarming. Liberty German was communicating with the fake “anthony_shots” profile in the hours before she vanished, and that profile was linked directly to Kegan Kline, a convicted child predator with a long pattern of online grooming.

    Yet despite the urgency of that connection, law enforcement waited three years before questioning Kline about the murders. When they finally did, Kline allegedly lied, deflected, and immediately began deleting accounts and wiping devices after walking out of the interview. The FBI raided the Kline home just twelve days after the girls were found, interrogated him, polygraphed him, and documented disturbing inconsistencies — all before the public even knew his name.

    Then, in 2022, investigators quietly searched the Wabash River near Kline’s home. Weeks later, they arrested Richard Allen, a man with no known digital link to Libby or Abby. Meanwhile, questions surrounding Kline’s involvement, timeline, and online activity remain unresolved.

    This episode breaks down the probable cause affidavit, the gaps in the public timeline, and the long, unexplained delay in bringing charges against Kline. We examine how someone with a full confession to unrelated crimes, multiple devices containing illicit material, and a detailed digital footprint connected to Liberty German managed to avoid charges for years — and what that means for the integrity of the Delphi investigation today.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether the digital angle held the key all along, this is the breakdown you can’t afford to miss.

  • Delphi Appeal in Chaos: Missing Evidence, Ignored Suspects, and the Breakdown That Could Free Richard Allen | 2025 True Crime

    Delphi Appeal in Chaos: Missing Evidence, Ignored Suspects, and the Breakdown That Could Free Richard Allen | 2025 True Crime
    Dec 30 2025
    In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, we confront two of the most alarming cracks in the Delphi murder case: the collapsing appeal process for Richard Allen and the investigative leads that were sidelined long before this case ever reached a jury. With defense attorney and Defense Diaries host Bob Motta joining the panel, we break down how missing exhibits tied to the controversial 136-page Franks memo were never transmitted into the certified trial record — including documents referencing alternate suspects and investigative inconsistencies. Without those materials, the appellate court is reviewing an incomplete case file, forcing Allen’s team to file motions just to keep the appeal from dying on procedural grounds.

    But the structural failure doesn’t end with clerical chaos. Newly surfaced depositions reveal investigators explaining why certain suspects connected to symbolic crime-scene elements and the so-called “Odinism angle” were labeled “no further action.” One individual made a startling comment about whether his DNA would be found on the victims. Another posted imagery that resembled aspects of the crime scene and owned a .40-caliber handgun that was never seized or tested. These aren’t fringe theories — they’re sworn statements about leads that were never fully explored.

    Bob and I examine how narrative lock, investigative pressure, and institutional bias can steer an entire case toward a single suspect while sidelining red flags that demanded deeper scrutiny. And now, those decisions may come back to haunt the state as the appeal heads toward a legal battlefield built on missing records, disputed evidence, and a procedural mess that raises questions about the system’s capacity to deliver justice at all.

    If you want to understand the investigative blind spots and bureaucratic failures shaping the future of the Delphi case, this is the episode that puts everything on the table.

  • Delphi Bombshell: The Ron Logan Evidence the Jury Never Heard — and the Human Cost Hidden Behind Richard Allen’s Conviction

    Delphi Bombshell: The Ron Logan Evidence the Jury Never Heard — and the Human Cost Hidden Behind Richard Allen’s Conviction
    Dec 29 2025
    This episode pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial and emotionally charged elements of the Delphi murders case: the evidence linked to Ron Logan that jurors never heard, and the personal devastation endured by Richard Allen’s wife, Kathy Allen, in the aftermath of his conviction.

    We start with the Logan file — an FBI affidavit outlining a falsified alibi, phone data placing Logan near the crime scene, past incidents of violence, and physical characteristics some believed matched the figure seen on the Monon High Bridge. Investigators executed a full search of Logan’s property, yet none of this information reached the jury in Richard Allen’s trial. Why was such a significant alternative lead effectively erased from the courtroom narrative? Was it investigative error, strategic omission, or an institutional decision to narrow the lens too early? These questions go to the heart of public confidence in the Delphi investigation.

    Then we shift to the human cost. Richard Allen’s transfer to an out-of-state facility placed him far from Kathy Allen, isolating him from the support system most defendants rely on during the appeals process. Kathy’s voice — steady, emotional, and often overlooked — brings forward the deeply personal reality of a case dominated by legal battles and public speculation. Defense attorney Bob Motta explains why she never took the stand and how her testimony might have reshaped the jury’s understanding of the man they were judging.

    This is the intersection of overlooked evidence, investigative blind spots, and the collateral damage left behind when a community demands closure before all questions are answered.
